DESCRIPTION
MOONDROP PRESENTS DAWN, A FULLY BALANCED USB DAC & AMP WITH DUAL CS43131 CHIPS
Moondrop is highly regarded in designing HiFi audio products and has developed the latest DAWN Portable USB DAC & Amp with a fully balanced circuit and high-performing hardware configuration. The all-new Moondrop "DAWN" is a small and efficient USB DAC & Amp with fully-balanced audio circuitry. DAWN offers unsurpassed performance with its dual CS43131 DAC chips and fully balanced 4.4mm headphone output connector, bringing superior performance beyond the theoretical value of the chip. The DAWN is designed with a premium hardware configuration to provide you with a device that outputs clean and precise sound. DAWN beats the competition with exceptional performance, decoding high-resolution PCM (32-Bit/768kHz) and DSD (Native DSD256) signals with accuracy and quality!
EMBEDDED WITH DUAL INDEPENDENT CRYSTAL OSCILLATORS AND DUAL DAC CHIP ARCHITECTURE TO PROVIDE BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE
Moondrop DAWN is equipped with high-performing components to deliver exceptional performance. DAWN features dual independent crystal oscillators to ensure high-quality digital signal transmission with low signal jitter. Don't let the Moondrop DAWN's diminutive size mislead you; despite this, it delivers a high-resolution audio experience. The dual DAC chipset of the Moondrop DAWN uses a fully balanced audio circuitry. It contains two powerful DAC chips (CS43131) that decode four-channel balanced signals. With a high Signal To Noise Ratio and low distortion ratings, Moondrop DAWN offers excellent performance. A fantastic dynamic range of 132dB significantly enhances DAWN's audio performance. The output signal has an impressively low background noise floor of just 1.3uVrms, presenting you with clean and crisp audio. With this, even for ultra-sensitive multi-BAs IEMs, the background noise is also inaudible.
DAWN PACKS A PUNCH WITH TRUE-BALANCED 4.4MM HEADPHONE OUTPUT AND LINE-OUT
The Moondrop DAWN is a portable DAC & Amp that features a 4.4mm fully balanced headphone output connection. It outputs roughly 230 mW of undistorted power at a 32 Ohm load and up to 4 Vrms(High-Gain), 2Vrms(Low) of line-out power. With such a potent output, it is perfect for most IEMs and headphones that are sensitive and power-hungry. Relying on high-level hardware configuration and a high-performance balanced circuit adds extra details to your music. Even for the most demanding tracks, DAWN delivers a fantastic multi-tone performance with excellent timbre and detail.
ANTI-INTERFERENCE ALUMINUM ALLOY SHELL AND EASY CONNECTIVITY WITH STANDARD TYPE-C INTERFACE
DAWN is made with a CNC shell made of aviation aluminium alloy, which offers rigidity and can block outside electromagnetic interference. The white matte paint spraying presents a delicate texture that is a visual delight. DAWN uses a parallel arrangement of high purity copper silver-plated digital signal transmission cable for uninterrupted and clean signal propagation with minimum distortion and anti-interference. Moondrop DAWN adopts a USB Type-C interface. It is fully compatible with most smartphones, Windows/Mac PCs, and also with apple devices with appropriate adapters. DAWN is a compact, intelligent, and versatile DAC & Amp that is ideal for music, gaming, and movies.
